"Needed pay"?
If you "need"overtime to get by, you're living beyond your means. Maybe shouldn'ta bought that $70k truck and $100k boat...
I have. Before the last contract I gave our BA a list of things I'd like to see discussed/ addressed in the contract, such as excessive forced overtime, improving the pension health, language to prevent UPS from replacing workers with automation like drones, etc.. I later found my list wadded up in the trash can.
Union leadership doesn't give a crap about us any more than UPS does, other than maximizing the dues they can extract from the membership.

That is not the issue. If they need it they need it, who are you to say how one should live.
I'm not telling anyone how to live, I'm stating my opinion.

What specific language did you write and suggest to deal with excessive overtime and these other issues?
This is untrue. My experience has been the opposite your accusations.

My bad. I took what you posted the wrong way. Sorry about that.
You know as well as I do that many, many drivers need excessive OT and lots of it, to finance the way of life they have chosen.

This is why OT language will never be perfect in the contract. Too many people with different ideas of what is too much or too little.

You’re doing it wrong

Don't be a Dave brother. We don't all live in a 1 stop light town of Kansas.
And if we did you wouldn't be able to live on 40 hours either.

Other unionized industries manage to figure out a way to accommodate those who want little to no OT and those who want as much as they can get. My wife is IBEW. No required OT in her local. The work still gets done, the contractors stay in business.

Our industry is much different than most. We also are, lately a Industry that's exploding and unpredictable at the moment. Its easier said then done is what I'm saying and I'm sure her company isn't even quarter of the size of UPS.
National OT language will be extremely hard to do across the country.

Naw... We'll have plenty of money to pay some poor white trash kid to shovle our snow while we sit inside drinking bourbon. Then when we need to go somewhere that's what keyless start is for so we can warm up the car before getting in.
